Growing Tips

1. Planting: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 6–8 inches apart. Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep, and ensure the area gets plenty of sunlight.
2. Watering: Keep the soil moderately moist. Purslane is drought-tolerant, but it thrives best when watered consistently.
3. Fertilization: Lightly fertilize with a balanced, organic fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy leaf growth. Too much fertilizer can reduce flavor quality.
4. Harvesting: Begin harvesting when the plants reach about 4–6 inches in height. Snip off the outer leaves for continual growth. The tender stems and leaves are best when eaten fresh.
